| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was truly amazing. I grew up in Northern Virginia going to observatories, and then in southeastern Idaho. I have seen the Milky Way with my bare eyes and laid out many nights on our trampoline looking at the Pleiades. This was the first time I’ve ever seen a fireball, and it was so amazingly different. What an experience! |

| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I saw approximately three fragments come spiraling out of the fireball, as it started to lower towards the horizon. One headed to the south, and the other two headed slightly north west. Of the two heading north west one was slightly higher than the other. They all have the same brightness as the original comment, but they spiraled and fizzled out. |
